You can do that with the snippet I posted above.

-PPropertyName=value

-PAutomated=true

That will at least set a Project level Custom property to an overridden value. I am not 100% sure if that Property has to exist or if this would create it. But I do know if you have a Project level Custom property called "Automated" and it is set to false, passing in "-PAutomated=true" would override that to false when ran with the testrunner.bat command line arguments.

The documentation on this is here. Some examples from my experience are below. There's a lot of different settings and properties you can override or set via the command line runner. Hope this helps!

To override a Project level property, you can use the following.
- -PPropertyName=value
- -PAutomated=true
To override or set a Global Property, you can use:
- -GPropertyName=value
- -GAutomated=true
